Today (February 20, 1844) is the birthday of Ludwig Eduard Boltzmann, who made important contributions to the fields of nuclear, mechanical and thermodynamics.

Today (February 20, 1844) is the birthday of Ludwig Eduard Boltzmann, who made important contributions to the fields of nuclear, mechanical and thermodynamics.

Ludwig Eduard Boltzmann was born on February 20, 1844, in Vienna, Austria. His father was an income tax officer. Mom and Grandma used to sell watches. The teachers came home and conducted the lesson for the affluent Boltzmann. His father died when he was 14 years old. The study stopped in half. However, at the age of 19, he dropped out of college to study physics at the University of Vienna. He was taught by the famous physics professors of the day. He received his doctorate in 1866. Boltzmann then went on to do in-depth research in mathematical physics.

Bolsheviks' entire focus was on atoms and molecules. The 'Maxwell Boltzmann Partition' and the 'Maxwell Boltzmann Statistics' are the cornerstones of mechanics. Such rules, discovered and announced by Boltzmann, became an excellent tool for understanding arithmetic-based mechanics spontaneously and easily without the aid of quantum theory. What is heat? Boltzmann's theories set out to understand the full meaning of heat whenever the climate varies from place to place. ‘Thermodynamics’ is an important component of physics. A study of heat and heat transfer.

It is the basis of this theory that the motor vehicle is driven by the heat generated by the combustion of petrol. Boltzmann established and designed equations with atoms for gases involved in this motion. He was the first scientist to approach and explain the atomic flow of physics with the statistical support of mathematics. Known for contributions in the fields of statistical mechanics and statistical thermodynamics. He defined the equation for this motion by conducting consistent studies on moving gases. He made many important contributions to the field at a time when the nuclear theory was completely unknown.

In 1885 he became a member of the Imperial Austrian Academy of Sciences. In 1887 Cross became president of the University. He was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1888 and a foreign member of the Royal Society (FormRRS) in 1899. Ludwig Eduard Boltzmann died in Italy on September 5, 1906, at the age of 62. There was also one-sided opposition to Boltzmann's theories as long as he was alive. Thus he became badly depressed. Going to the peak of irritability and frustration, he has repeatedly attempted suicide. Those who did not understand his beauty for as long as he lived understood it only after his death.
